I'm looking to move up to Boston June 15th, and I'm curious about what's a good time to start looking for apartments? I'm aware that the apartment market completely renews in September, but I'd ideally prefer to not sublet for 1-2 months and have to move again.

I've already started looking, but it seems like it's way too early and most places that are available want to rent immediately. Would the best time to start looking for nice apartments for a June 15th move in be in April/May?

You’ll have a real tough time finding a true June 15th move-in. For that, it’s going to either be apartments lying around unrented because of some serious issue, luxury apartment highrises that have availability and start whenever, or yes a sublet.

Best thing if you really don’t want to move twice is to find a sublet that you like and can renew in the Fall cycle.

Otherwise you can look around late April/early May. Usually 30 days before your desired move in date is the best time.

Even that is unlikely. If you’re subletting from June-august it’s likely the tenant already isn’t renewing and someone else already signed the September lease
